THQ is bringing a third-person adventure game based on the SpongeBob Squarepants universe to the PSP handheld. This new title is based on the animated DVD, "The 10 Happiest Moments of SpongeBob's Life". It will feature clips from the animated series, as well as a fully-detailed 3D world to explore. Alongside the PSP version, the game will aslo be coming to the DS, Wii and Xbox 360.

In this game, SpongeBob SquarePants has gotten himself into quite a predicament. After being entrusted by Mr. Krabs to keep the Krabby Patty formula safe, SpongeBob is overcome with grief for losing the recipe. He then relies on the help of the most unlikely companion, Plankton, who wants the secret Krabby Patty recipe for himself. With the help of his friends, SpongeBob must use Plankton's memory machine to retrace the happiest moments of his life to find the Krabby Patty formula in time for the Krusty Krab's Eleventy Seventh anniversary.

What separates Truth of Square from other 3D adventure titles like Secret Agent Clank is the fact that SponsgeBob is, well, a sponge. He will be able to transform into useful shapes at various points in the game, which can help players overcome obstacles and dispatch enemies.
